Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Workswell WCB-R-306 Disc Brake - Who Sells It?

Here’s some pics of the Van Dessel Arch65/ WorksWell WCB-R-306 with the Airwolf HB009 bars.

I’m still dialing things in, but overall happy with it. It’s not quite as light as the previous model (Van Dessel Motivus Maximus LTD), but it has a good ride to it.

I’m really happy with the bars too. I haven’t dropped a 1200 watt sprint on them yet, but wrenched hard enough on some climbs and I can’t feel any flex on the 120/38 set up. Fit and finish are great too. My only issue is I wish they included some instructions on headset setup. I generally know what I’m doing, but there were a few extra pieces included (2 compression rings, a thin metal plate, 2 metal washers and a rubber o ring) that I haven’t figured out where they go. It also didn’t come with a computer mount, but I easily found one on Amazon I like.

I've been digging around here a bit considering some frames, and stumbled on this topic. It helped me make the connection.

For the US, the WorksWell WCB-R-306 is a Van Dessel Arch65. I almost tried to order one from WorksWell, but my contact at Van Dessel gave me a sweet deal on the Arch65, so I took it. It's more than what it would be from WorksWell, but I know the brand I'm working with and have close to 10 years of experience with them, along with four of their bikes at home (Motivus Maximus LTD, two Full Tilt Boogies, and a Whiskey Tango Foxtrot) and two others have come through at various times (the original Motivus Maximus and original All Day Driver, which I raced at CrossVegas in 2016).

I did pick up an integrated bar from AirWolf since they were one of the few I could find doing a 380/120 bar/stem combo. I'll be building it up with a mix of Shimano Ultegra 8000 Di2 with GRX shifters and brakes, along with items from absoluteBLACK, Velo, Elite cages, Hunt Limitless 60 wheels, and Wahoo Speedplay pedals. Once I have everything and get it all built up, I'll add a pic.
